Chapter 430: The Opening Battle

Wednesday of the last week of February.

It was supposed to be just an ordinary day, and there weren't any festivals. However, because the opening match of this year's Blue Dragon Martial Arts Association was held today, it immediately attracted the attention of hundreds of thousands of martial artists from all over the mainland. Although only some of them are qualified to watch the game up close, this does not affect the interest of the others in the slightest.

In the taverns and casinos of Solan City, the debate about the outcome of the opening game has been boiling over.

Because it was the first day, coupled with the deliberate arrangement of the organizers, a total of four groups of eight people participated in the battle. One of them is Lu Kaige, who Lu Chengfeng pays the most attention to. Playing against him was a local martial artist of the Void Ancestor, Sun Peng, who was an early eighth-order martial artist. The two of them are both eighth-order masters, and their strength can be described as equal, and there will inevitably be a fierce battle.

As for the other three games, the strength of the arrangement is also an eighth-order powerhouse, which is also very interesting, so the match table has just been issued, and it has attracted countless attention.

Needless to say, the first two games, Lu Chengfeng only took a cursory look at them, and gave up after having some understanding of their strength. When the third battle started, when Lu Kaige and Sun Peng entered the dueling arena from the left and right, Lu Chengfeng lifted his spirit and observed carefully.

Because it was an official battle, today Lu Kaige changed into a dragon light armor suit. The lightsaber in his hand, the hilt of the sword is based on red and black, and the dazzling sword light that inspires it also has a touch of red. Lu Chengfeng is not unfamiliar with this shape. Because, this is a well-known seven-grade weapon of the Tianfeng Lu family back then-Hell Rock lightsaber!

As the name suggests, this lightsaber is made of rare Hell Rock as the energy storage core, and with a unique excitation circuit, it can greatly enhance the power of the sword qi. Even if there are ready-made drawings and designs, and then put aside the labor costs, the materials for forging such a weapon alone will cost at least 800,000 gold!

From this point, it is easy to understand why the lightsaber genre is declining now.

Any high-grade lightsaber can easily cost millions of gold coins. How many ordinary seventh-order martial artists can casually come up with a lot of money? Even if they do, they may not be willing to break the bank to get such a weapon. After all, although the lightsaber is light and sharp, the blade is more brittle than the giant sword, and it will be more disadvantageous in a head-on impact. If you accidentally break it, it will really be a loss.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Chengfeng wants to revitalize the lightsaber school, which is a long-term goal. If he can't solve the dilemma that lightsabers are extremely expensive, even if he regains the glory of lightsabers, he is destined to only let it spread within a small high-end circle.

For now, though, the extinction of lightsabers isn't without any benefits. At the very least, the enemy Lu Kaige faced today, this martial artist named Sun Peng, didn't know much about lightsaber. Seeing the disembodied weapon in Lu Kai's singer, a trace of contempt obviously flashed in his eyes.

As a martial artist in the local area of the Void Ancestor, Sun Peng is also a famous teacher, and he has already stepped into the eighth order before the age of forty. It's not a great talent, but it's a very good level. Moreover, just a month ago, his master personally stepped out and asked the blacksmith grandmaster of the Solan Workshop to help forge a pair of Sand Invasion Gauntlets. With it, Sun Peng's combat power was almost directly promoted to thirty percent.

Now he is full of ambition and is ready to take the opponent of the Tianyuan Dynasty in front of him!

With the appearance of two ninth-order referees, the duel officially began. Under the gaze of countless masters, Sun Peng, who was full of confidence, waved his fist and took the lead in attacking. With the injection of his fighting spirit, the sand invasion fist gloves were immediately surrounded by yellow wind and sand. Sun Peng's fist shadow was suddenly concealed, virtual and real, making it difficult to see clearly.

Seeing this, Lu Kaige was not in a hurry, and the horizontal sword was protected in front of him, ready to brake quietly.

In the blink of an eye, Sun Peng had already narrowed the distance with Lu Kaige. In a strange scream, Sun Peng's previous unsparing fist suddenly spit out. Under the cover of the special effects of the wild sand invading the boxing gloves, with a tricky angle, he blasted into Sun Peng's right ribs with Wan Jun's strength.

For most people, it's a dead end that's not easy to defend. If you change your tactics in a hurry, it is easy to be too late to prevent and be directly hit by him.

However, Lu Kaige's response was undoubtedly very clever. After relying on the perception of the martial artist to judge the general intention of the other party, Lu Kaige's body turned slightly to the right, and the lightsaber followed the direction of Sun Peng's fist to bounce his insidious attack away. Before Sun Peng could launch a wind combo at close range, Lu Kaige had already added a light saber technique that Lu Chengfeng was extremely familiar with—the Earth Crack Wave Sword!

With his eighth-order strength, it was undoubtedly more than enough to control a low-level sword technique.

With the help of his unique fluctuation technique, Lu Kaige used this Earth Crack Fluctuation Sword to knock back Sun Peng, who was trying to get close, a little distance. Seeing that the tentative round did not succeed, Sun Peng slightly put away the contempt in his heart, and his fists were full of fighting spirit, and there was a strong punch five meters away!

This punch is unpretentious and does not look particularly strong. But in fact, its power was comparable to that of the strongest seventh-order sword technique. Just to practice it to the point where the breath is completely restrained, Sun Peng has worked it for several years. This punch was blasted, Sun Peng was full of confidence, as long as Lu Kaige dared to greet him, he would suffer a big loss.

Lu Chengfeng, who was watching the battle from afar, although he couldn't personally feel the power of the strong fist, he could guess that the fighting skills of this eighth-order martial artist who were serious were definitely not easy to mess with. If it were him, Lu Chengfeng would choose to avoid this blow, using the Flowing Heart Sword's flashing trick to suddenly shift and change positions, instantly changing from the defender to the sneak attacker.

How will Lu Kaige deal with it?

Under his curious gaze, Lu Kaige really moved. The familiar starting style made Lu Chengfeng subconsciously pat his thigh. I don't know whether to say that the hero sees something the same or something else, Lu Kaige really chose to use the Flowing Heart Flash at this moment, and suddenly transferred to Sun Peng's side, ready to take on other lightsaber skills.

Seeing this, Lu Chengfeng no longer had any other doubts in his heart. The Flowing Heart Sword Technique, in the swordsmanship inheritance of the lightsaber royal family, is already a relatively advanced inheritance. If you don't have a direct lineage, it's almost impossible to learn. The previous low-level sword techniques such as the Earth Crack Wave Sword can be said to be accidental. But as soon as this sixth-order sword technique came out, Lu Chengfeng understood that this person named Lu Kaige was indeed a descendant of the Tianfeng Lu family back then! Although it was conceivable that their situation must be very bad, Lu Chengfeng was still very happy to see Lu Kaige's somewhat non-standard Flowing Heart Sword. After all, there are family members who have a common heritage!
